Mayonnaise sandwich... Crazy Brits. $253 a week for groceries and one of your favorite family foods is a mayonnaise sandwich. Why not just eat a tub of butter, it's probably healthier and tastes better.

Who eats bread with just mayo on it, by choice? Maybe if you're in prison.

 

I was surprised that the US didnt spend the most, that family that spends 500 a week is outrageous!

 

Yea but did you notice all the alcohol

 

haha, now that you say that! that's pretty funny, not a fan of wine myself tho

 

mayo sandwich sounds discusting but its really not that bad. i was born in england and have spent quite alot of time over there and my grandma made it all the time. sometimes they would have bacon, but that was only on a good day

Damn Germans are alcoholics. No wonder its 500 bucks.

 

DAMN! Mexicans love Coke I guess

 

Everyone loves Coke!

 

or just that they dont have potable water

 

That's why we're all diabetics. Damn coke.

Did you notice how Americans don't have enough veggies on the table as others do. All the bright colors from the food wrappers you see in the first American family they showed.
